Plots(1)
The immortal screen couple Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn take the lead in this fabulously witty political comedy drama from director Frank Capra, filmed against the background of the 1948 Presidential election. Wealthy aeroplane manufacturer Grant Matthews is encouraged to become a presidential candidate by his girlfriend, press baron Kay Thorndyke. Forced to publicly reunite with his estranged wife Mary in order to present the illusion of a happy marriage, he comes close to nomination. But, as Grant and Mary realise that political success will mean compromising their principles, Grant has a change of heart. (Powerhouse Films)
